Blind Jedi Padawan

Dad made this custom after I went to bed last night. He's not crazy about it, but I like it a lot! I love the lightsaber staff.

Clone Cadets: Customized with Dad's Birthday Present

Dad just had his birthday, and as a present, I got him a DREMEL tool so he can make me even cooler customs. Our first two Clone Trooper Cadet customs were his first creation using the DREMEL tool. He grinded and sanded down the heads of two Boba Fett figures we had gotten from the "new" Toys R' Us Ultimate Battle Pack and created two different hairstyles on the figures. When he was done, he painted them up to make them look as they appear below.

A few years later, I made my own two Clone Cadets from resin cast heads that Dad created using a mold from a sanded down Boba Fett head. I used some Aves Fixit and some ProCreate to scukpt my two additions.

Dad was going to give the one on the left a crew cut, but I asked him to make his hair look like Commander Gree instead.

Dad's Duros Jedi

Now, in all honesty, we have seen some much better Duros Jedi action figures made previously by other customizers. These figures had soft good clothing and most were super articulated, but sometimes as a customizer, you have to work with the materials you have on hand. So that's just what Dad did. He used the body of an Episode I Mace Windu action figure and the hands and head of an Ellorrs Madak action figure to create this custom. Dad admits it's not a great Duros Jedi custom, but when it comes down to it, I'd rather have a Duros Jedi action figure that not have one.

A Quick Custom by Dad

Dad made this custom on the fly with an Anakin Skywalker Episode I action figure and a Greeata action figure that was in our fodder box. The hair was removed from the Greeata when we got her, but Dad found a plastic crown in the fodder box and was able to create some of the signature Rodian spikes along the crest of the head with some scissors and krazy glue.

Calamari and Twi'lek Bounty Hunters

So yesterday, Dad and I walked through a local retailer and we saw the new "Iron Man 2" toys being displayed for sale to coincide with this week's DVD release of the movie. We grabbed two action figures while we were there with hopes of converting them into customs when we returned home. We have seen a lot of customs made of Star Wars action figures in mechanical suits and we decided it was worth taking a crack at doing two of our own. Dad dug into the fodder box and ended up creating a Calamari Bounty Hunter and a Twi'lek Bounty Hunter. Below are the results.
